Ideas on best pair of characters + essential

Would like to know assuming you have a really weak essential character, which two heroes are the best in pairing up for them in pve and pvp?

Doom + Thor are a perfect rainbow with 6 active powers.

Thor/Doom is a good one.

My favorites right now:

Doom/Cyclops - missing green but Doom’s blue fuels Cyc’s black
Fist/Cyclops - missing blue but Fists purple feeds Cyc’s black

too hard to not use Cyc black… i get to the 12 AP then go for purple for IF to punch with, save cyc black for a finishing move on big guys when i use this team. With the Daken PVP, this is going to be my go-to. Daken has blue covered.

One thing about is who is buffed for the week and is there synergy there? If you have a good DD he will be great against Daken destroying the strike tiles and doing massive damage. Squirrel Girl is also buffed and her Purple is also a great nuke against special tiles, and she has a green outlet that can be good. Start with you buffed characters and then move to your non buffed. It also really depends on your roster as well to know who will pair well and counter teams you are playing against
